Step #1: Get a Canadian based Accountant who knows international real estate transactions (such as George Dube's team) Step #2: Sit with him/her to set the ownership structure up to best position yourself for future sale AND current rental income Step #3: Follow the plan, and instruct the...

As we will be discussing Rent-To-Owns at the All-Day REIN Conference on the 19th, that also might be a good place to find the names of a few other RTO lawyers. Have you asked Barry for a referal?

And it is not just the obvious taxes that are the issue. Sadly, municipalities and cities have discovered that naming a tax a Levy keeps it off the radar of consumer protest. Sure they may have only raised the "Property Tax" by 1%, but the additional "Capital Replacement Levies" and "Garbage...

Hi John Thank you so much for sharing your journey and congratulations on your 4th property! I especially like that you read the book then attended the event with a level of skepticism - that is a healthy approach and will serve you well as you build your portfolio. You sharing your...

In reference to the above article - be careful! Although Kelowna has good potential, the biggest issue for investors will be in finding cash flow. Rent to purchase price ratio is out of wack, making it more of a speculative play rather than a straight investment market. The analysis they...

A great place to start is through the 100 page research and analysis the REIN Team has put together for the Top Investment Cities in AB, BC & ON. Not only a good place to get information, but also a great place to see the sources of info that the team uses (most sources are referenced). Some...

Are You Being Mindful in Your Investing Decisions? Being mindful about real estate (and really all investment choices) can be difficult. I've had many conversations with media and investors recently who are caught in "Average price" or "Average vacancy rates" or "Average rents." I can...

The ongoing saga of a city that gets lost on the tough decisions. Interesting how Ottawa City (after years and years of debate) finally approved a preliminary design for their LRT system http://bit.ly/rgaLYI while almost the same day City of Hamilton chooses to stop all work on the LRT project...
